Danny Freeman is a chef and content creator known for his colorful

love with pasta making after attempting one of his grandmother's
recipes but quickly veered from the traditional and began making
pasta in bright colors and original shapes. After posting videos of
his pasta creations online, he gained a devoted following and
developed his signature style of colorful, joyful, and delicious
food. His work has been featured by Good Morning America, The
Rachael Ray Show, Teen Vogue, Buzzfeed, and more, and his videos

University and Columbia Law
School, he was a legal services lawyer before becoming a pasta
chef. Danny lives in New York's Hudson Valley with his husband and
their daughter. He can be found on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube

"I was first drawn to Danny for his strong family values and love
of pasta—it reminded me so much of my own upbringing. Danny is
truly an edible artist. I'm so in awe of the beautifully natural
and playful way that he creates pastas of all shapes, colors, and
designs. The only thing missing from this book is my ability to buy
all of the amazing pastas he makes!"—Giada De Laurentiis, chef,
restaurateur, and founder of Giadzy.com
"Danny’s videos put a smile on my face every day, and this book is
everything we know him for and more. Super creative, fun, and
personal, but also a masterclass in everything you need to know
about pasta. This book looks good on the coffee table, but you’ll
probably find it in the kitchen covered in flour because there’s
just so much to learn!"—Poppy O’Toole, author of Poppy Cooks:
The Food You Need and judge on Young MasterChef UK
"Gorgeously shot and so wonderfully personal, Danny injects a
deeply needed sense of fun and whimsy to the oftentimes serious and
methodical world of pasta. Every recipe is an encouragement to dare
to try something different for no other reason than the sake of
joy, which makes Danny Loves Pasta perfect for anyone who might
want to try making pasta for the first time. Because of that same
element of fun, some lifelong experts might learn a thing or two
from him as well."—Jon Kung, content creator and cookbook
author
"Danny’s ode to pasta is simply a joy. From delicate tortellini
wrapped in thin multi-colored pinstripes—a genius technique that I
now happily use in my own doughs—to ravioli shaped like delightful
succulents, Danny Loves Pasta is a book that pushes the boundaries
of what pasta can be in the most friendly and approachable way.
Every recipe is a love letter to the art of pasta, where shapes and
fillings from the traditional to whimsical have turned my kitchen
into a playground of flour and creativity. The results look like
edible art, but I don’t stare for too long. In the end, the pasta
is simply too delicious not to eat."—Frankie Gaw, author of
First-Generation: Recipes from My Taiwanese-American Home and
creator of Little Fat Boy
